Aprilibatiim xile d'Decemlier 12. 1906- Sariid No. 347,423.

To all am it may concern:

Be it known that I SAMUEL F. Ronmspiz anitizen 1 2 or the united States, residing at Columbns, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, haw 'e invented certain newand useful Improvements in Dish-Washing 'iipparotus, of which the following is a. specification.

lily invention relates to a dish washing apparatus 'and has for its object the provision of a-dcvicc of this character which may be cheaply manufactured and which is adopted to accommodate, 21. large or small number of dishes. 7 v

A further object of the invention is the provision of a doviceoi the character described which is adapted to ='cc'.t112ill drain the dishes after they have been washed. v

Further objects and advantages of the inyention will be set forth in the detailed description which now follows: v

In the accompanying drawing: Figure l is avertical section of at dish washing apparatus constructed in accordance with the invention, and, Fig. 2 is a plan view oi r. topforthe inner erecn. liilie'iiumcrnls designate corresponding ports in both of thy figures of the drawing.

'ltoierring in the drawing. the numeral 5 designates a metallic poll-like receptacle which is mounted upon a hose flange 6. This receptacle is adapted to receive a 08% 7 1- 'ch isccn'istructed of wire mesh and which is provided with metallic poi-formed bottom 8. This case is provided with legal) which to space it from the receptacle A handle 10 of the usual and well a. -l nowu construction secured to the receptacle 5 and provid nenns forimparting' a'bodily oscillatorymovem n "to-the larger receptacle, as will be hereinafter set i JliL rovidcd with o handle 17 forms a closure for the 1 5.

Z" no is iOllOWSZ The dishes 1 after which boiling Water is sufficient amount of li lllllls water has been poured over these dishes, the top 1] is secured in position by placing said top in such position that the books 12 hoolcihmugh the mesh of the cage 7 at one side of the top. The top is then pressed firmly down upon the dishes, after which the bolt 13 is moved in position to engage the wire mesh at the opposite side of the top. It will therefore be seen that thistop is adopted to be secured in position at such point as to hold the dishes against movement with relation to each other, whether there be alarge number of dishes or only a few of them.' After this top 11 has been placed in position, the top 17 is pieced upon the receptacle 5, said top having a'fiange 18 which passes inside of said rccepmclc. -llio operator thcn grasps the handle 10 and imparts a bodily oscillatory movement to the receptacle :3. This sets up a circulation oiwater inside of said rcccptacle and thoroughly cleanses the dishes contained in the cage. After the dishes hove been suilicicntly washed, the cage 7 may be removed and the water per-- mitted to drain from the dishes either by placing the cage 7 in the sink or by turning the partly upon its side and placing it over the top of the receptacle 5.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that simple and clllcicm. means are herein providml for accomplishing the objects of the invemion, but while the elements shown and described are Well adapted to serve the purposes for which they are intended, it is to lie un derstood that the invention is not limited to the precise construction set forth but includes within its purview such changes as may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim, is:

1. 'lbc combination with a receptacle. of :1 wire m sh cage which is adapted to be secured within said reccptnclc, :1 top adapted to iiiv within said cum, fixed members enrriczl by the top all; one side thereof for engaging said wire inesu, and a sliding bolt carried by the other side of said top also adopted to engage the wire mosh.

The combination with a rccclitncle, of n wirc mosh cage which is adapted to be secured within said i'cccptnclc. a top adapted to fit within said cnge fixed members carried by the top at one side thereof for cn ng said wire mesh, a sliding bolt carried by the other si e of said top also adopted to engage the wire mesh, and means for spacing said cage from the bottom of the receptacle.

In testimony whereof I uflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

SAMUEL F. ROBINSON.
